"There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children."

- Kailash Satyarthi

A report by ILO & UNICEF warns that 9 million additional children are at risk of being pushed into child labour by the end of 2022 globally, as a result of the pandemic. India contributes 7.3 percentage of total number of child labour worldwide. In India the risk of more child labour increase in last decades is just because of huge number of vulnerable families, facing economic crisis and closure of schools during pandemic. Thus such triggered families are likely pushing children into poverty and which causes child labour and unsafe migration of such child labour.

The most alarming fact is the number of such children who are still remained unidentified and can be the subject of human trafficking. Our Govt. both central and state level had taken some effective steps to control this but vital role of NGO's can't be denied or ignored as they are working at grass root level.
